That's a two way street. Tens of thousands soldiers on European soil becoming PoWs. US Equipment in European bases like Air Force or Preposition Army Stocks impounded by Europeans. Logistics going further east via Ramstein - effectively whole Middle east cut off from US reach. Access to early warning radars in Europe also gone. Ability to rearm and refuel ships pushed all the way back to USA.

We switched their email off would be a political joke compared to tens of thousand soldiers stuck behind enemy lines. And that's all working with assumptions that EU won't nationalize European part of AWS/Azure/GC/(other US cloud providers) to force it to continue its operation.





Don't forget things like cutting off trade with the US, or trying to organize a dump of their debt to attack the currency. Or, trying for hack-attacks on key US network components. None of these involve "traditional military" but they'd affect the randos at home quite a bit.

Sounds like some of Trump's handlers' ideal outcome.

The only real question is if the US establishment wakes the fuck up in time.
